Has anyone used your Thai bank account and the 12 months deposit method for income verification for a retirement visa and deposited extra money for housing deposits or spending money, etc., and run into any issues? I know immigration wants to see 12 months worth of deposits, I'm wondering if any extra deposits will mess things up.
Answer summary
The post raises concerns about the implications of making extra deposits into a Thai bank account used for income verification for a retirement visa. The user is particularly worried about how these additional funds might affect the immigration process, given that immigration requires a consistent record of 12 months' deposits.

At present there has been no change to 30 days . Even when it happens and is recorded in Royal Gazette, it is enforced for another 15 days..

The other thing to concern is your travel history to Thailand ,as that will be considered for decision by the Immigration Officer upon arrival .
